MERCY MINISTRIES OF LAREDO

What MERCY MINISTRIES OF LAREDO does

Mercy Ministries of Laredo, also doing business as Mercy Clinic Laredo, is a nonprofit charitable healthcare clinic operating as a single-site community care unit within the Mercy healthcare network, a nonprofit system headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri. Founded in 2003 and located at 2500 Zacatecas Street in Laredo, Texas, the clinic serves low-income adults without health insurance and those with traditional Medicare and Medicaid plans, restricted to verified Webb County residents. Services are billed on a sliding scale at 250% of poverty based on income and family size, and include adult dental care, general medicine, a cancer program coordinated with a local oncologist, social services and case management, diabetes education, women's health screenings, mental health counseling, and medication assistance.

The clinic operates through three integrated delivery channels: a fixed brick-and-mortar clinic, the Mercy Mobile Clinic that travels to medically underserved rural and inner-city neighborhoods, and a Promotoras Program deploying certified community health workers for home visits and public health education. The promotora-led outreach model is the primary patient acquisition and trust-building mechanism, supported by integration into the broader Mercy digital infrastructure, including the MyMercy patient portal and EpicCareLink provider portal. The organization's economics are characteristic of a safety-net charity: direct patient co-pays are minimal due to the sliding-scale structure, and the operation is sustained by parent Mercy subsidies and donations channeled through the Mercy Health Foundation. Casa de Misericordia operates as an adjacent subsidiary under the same Mercy Clinic Laredo umbrella, extending the clinic's charitable footprint.
